Hi,

I'm running Linux with the SLS installation of GNU. I got a lot of obj-files 
with really long filenames (up to 40 chars), which cannot be truncated. In 
fact they are derived from the rule names of the C++ grammar.

I want put all obj-files together in one lib, but my "ar" is always truncating 
all after the 16th letter. I read in the man pages, that this behaviour 
results from the system requierments of my os. This is (or better was) true 
for earlier Linux, which had the same filename restrictions as MINIX. 
Meanwhile, you can (and I must!) use up to 256 chars. "ar" is said to be able 
to handle it, but I have to recompile it. Or is there any switch, which will 
do that on my running "ar" ?

Where can I obtain the source for it, and what is the name of it?

Thanks in advance.
